The conflicts in the ME are NOT the new cold war- the small ME powers do not have the power to destroy us, or to force us to "bow to Mecca" as some folks so ardently believe. Who in the world thinks that the small countries in the ME have the power to destroy us or force us to bow to Mecca? That reads stupid. They can't even educate their own population, how in the world could they make us bow to anything? The countries of the ME are little, small countries that have minimal power over anything affecting the US other than the price of oil. It's a huge leap from oil at $10 per gallon (Americans drive less) and anything important. In other words, I think the democrats have been challenging the narrative. Huh? How does that follow from your first paragraph? Of course Bush and Cheney will tell you that that's unpatriotic, but I agree with this essay- especially since I have been saying essentially the same thing as this essay since 2001
